Rocket Doom'd?
All the focus in the X Prize contest right now is on Scaled Composites, which will be making the world's first private human spaceflight in a mere 4 days, but work is still continuing elsewhere. John Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace just made a successful test flight of a small-scale version of their spacecraft (I've launched rockets higher myself). While progress continues, Carmack admits that, even if Scaled were out of the running, Armadillo would have a tough time meeting the prize goals before the end-of-the-year deadline.
